iPhone Book Adds Interactivity with Tag

Just how far can you take an iPhone image – can it become fine photography? Designer-photographer Dan Marcolina dedicated a year to finding the answers, and next week, PeachPit Press will publish iPhone Obsessed: Photo Editing Experiments with Apps, a gorgeous digital-photography guide that shows his amazing results and explains how he achieved them.

iPhone Obsessed is also one of the first truly interactive books, using 75 Microsoft Tags to enhance your understanding of the techniques with over four hours of video demos, app overviews, and step-by-step tutorials, all custom-designed on a mobile site. Without ever leaving your iPhone, you can scan a Tag and learn to create artistic photographic effects such as blurs and vignettes, high dynamic range, traditional film effects, black and white, and more, using just the right combination of 45 low-cost iPhone apps discussed in the book.
